After menstruation, the inflammation was found to have subsided upon examination.Today, it was noticed that there is milky and viscous discharge in the vagina. Test and examination results:
Desired help: Is this a problem? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for further examination?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it is likely that you have vaginitis. I recommend that you go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment should be symptomatic based on the type of vaginitis. Pay attention to hygiene and wear loose cotton underwear.If it is only a thick vaginal discharge with no other obvious discomfort, and the test results are normal, there is no need for medication. You can simply clean the external genital area more frequently with warm water. Blind medication can lead to dysbiosis and trigger infections.
Common types of vaginitis include trichomoniasis, candidiasis, and bacterial vaginosis. Each type has a different cause and treatment method. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to confirm the diagnosis and then receive symptomatic treatment.
